[DSP-10] Choices of Oven VCXOs?

I am using a Fox surface mount VTCXO available from Mouser p/n
559-FOX801BE-1000 for $13.46 in quantity of 1. You must ask for the voltage
control option. I am using the TAC2 with ONCORE GPS receiver and the Brooks
Shera design both mounted in one enclosure. It took a bit of juggling the
resistor values (I used a 10 turn pot for one) to get the right control
voltage values. It works great. I am using the 10 kHz as the master
oscillator for my Ten Tec OMNI VI plus and for my Tectonics CMC251 (1.2 GHZ)
counter time base. I hope to stabilize the local oscillators for my 6, 2,
and 70 cm transvertors, but haven't yet got that working. I am trying to use
a VCXO with a divider and a divider from 10 mhz to drive a PLL. The 10 mhz
from the GPS conditioned oscillator being the control. If you know of any
source information, I would sure appreciate learning of it. 73 Dick.
